Title: Identified Internet Mail
State: Active
Authors: Jim Fenton, Michael Thomas
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-10-15
This document describes extensions to the format of electronic mail
messages and a public-key infrastructure to permit verification of the
source of messages by either mail transport agents (MTAs) or mail user
agents (MUAs). This may be used to implement a policy which, for example,
favors the delivery of identified messages over messages lacking signatures
or having incorrect signatures. Mechanisms by which signing of messages and
verification of signatures can be performed by a trusted MTA, in order to
minimize impact on the user, are also presented.
